What a
treat to dine at 240 Union
240 Union
240 Union Blvd.
Lakewood, 80228
303-989-3562
Fans from all over come to
enjoy cutting-edge cuisine in a comfortable atmosphere
at this Lakewood gem. Though many new restaurants
continue to open, 240 Union remains tops in food, wine
and service. Few other places manage to stay as
up-to-date and maintain as loyal a clientele. The décor
is sophisticated, yet lively. An open kitchen spans the
length of the room, and wood panels representing
Colorado’s mountains nicely divide the space. An elegant
bar and private wine/dining room offer other seating
options. Owner and front-of-the-house man Michael
Coughlin and the executive chef tie all the elements
together to bring you an exceptional dining experience.
The wine list is amazing, and the wait staff is perfect,
always around but never intrusive. The homemade rolls
are the best, warm from the oven and so divine. The
rotating seasonal menu brings interesting delights at
each change. Appetizers include sizzling shrimp, salmon
sliders with chutney, spicy calamari, fabulous
flatbread, and delicious quesadillas. Roasted beets of
yellow and red with crispy onions and goat cheese, a
salad of greens with poached pears and dried
cranberries, and greens with an assortment of veggies
are show stoppers. Entrées bring a whole fish roasted in
the brick oven, spit-roasted half chicken, grilled
salmon with fingerling potatoes, coffee glazed duck with
divine parmesan grits, and a pork chop with risotto.
Other options include scallops, fish, lamb and beef.
Don’t forget pastas and pizzas from the brick oven. End
with glorious desserts such as sticky toffee pudding,
chocolate silk pie, key lime pie and crème brûlée. With
excellent food presented beautifully with exciting sides
and delightful hospitality, 240 Union is a terrific
place to go.
